Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature is not recognized in Windows 10












0














When I try to run Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature windows throws ''Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.'



I am running windows 10.



There is no environment variable called Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature. Should I add it, and if so, what path should I add?

          The command you are trying to run cannot be ran in Windows Command Prompt, you need to run it in Windows Powershell.
